An exhibit of oil paintings is on display on the mezzanine of the Grace A. Dow Memorial Library, 1710 W St Andrews Road in Midland.

The exhibit features the work of the Paint and Palette Group, and offers a variety of paintings on many subjects including landscapes, flowers, human interest and more.

The exhibition is scheduled through Nov. 30 during library hours. Some of the paintings are available for purchase while some are just for viewing.

The Paint and Palette Group began meeting in the 1970s, with Marjorie Kruger as teacher. The group, about 10 to 12 retired seniors, now meets on Monday mornings at United Church of Christ. Kruger is now a member of the group and still offers advice.

"We enjoy painting but feel the camaraderie is the best part of our morning," said member Donna Richards. "Anyone is welcome to join our sessions."
